Senate Bill 2018, described on the floor, is an omnibus commerce measure providing appropriations to the Department of Commerce and several related entities and programs; the engrossed bill also creates a new statutory section (chapter 50-54-60) for Department of Commerce grant reporting requirements and amends multiple sections of the North Dakota Century Code related to the North Dakota Development Fund, workforce development duties, and uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) programs.

On the floor Representative Navy (as recorded in the transcript) summarized the conference committee changes, noting reductions and adjustments across multiple line items compared with earlier House or Senate proposals. Items listed in the floor summary include zeroing the \"Find the Good Life\" line; reducing tourism development grants from 20 to 15; adjusting a test-site line to 0 and allocating 1,000,000 to a different test-site item; setting the Beyond Visual Line of Sight program from 20 to 15; cutting the drone replacement program from 16 to 9; reducing Grand Sky funding from 5 to 2.5 and Grand Farm from 10 to 7.5; adding 175,000 for a community hall in Driscoll; halving a technical skills training grant from 2,000,000 to 1,000,000; and reducing a proposed development fund appropriation from 30,000,000 to 25,000,000 with 10 of that 25 dedicated to the non-primary sector. Representative Navy also said the TR library issue would be deferred for further review next session. The conference committee summary referenced contingency triggers for science center funding tied to SIF balances and noted a sanitation and restoration project at the State Fair included in section 7.

Representative Koppelman asked a question about language regarding opening development fund grants to one-to-one matches; the transcript records that the grama language (matching language) was removed during conference committee consideration. After floor procedures the clerk recorded final passage of Senate Bill 2018, 66 yea, 22 nay.

The transcript provides a floor-level summary of line-item adjustments and statutory sections affected but does not include complete bill text, full dollar-amount contexts for every line item (units and whether figures represent thousands, millions or other units are not always specified in the spoken summary), nor implementation schedules. The bill passed the House on final consideration and will proceed through the remaining legislative steps.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","House Floor Session May 2, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The House adopted a conference committee report and then passed Senate Bill 2018, a package of appropriations and policy changes for the Department of Commerce that adjusts multiple program line items and creates reporting and fund provisions.","taxTitle","House of Representatives, Legislative, North Dakota","taxId",28308,"location","North Dakota","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6253386,"House adopts conference report for Senate Bill 2256 establishing Fargo research-park grant program",75,709000,784000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3181503-30c9cb7c5e13cc3506e8af7114e2a991&start=709&end=784","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3181503-30c9cb7c5e13cc3506e8af7114e2a991/thumbnail_709000.jpg","/articles/6253386/North-Dakota/House-adopts-conference-report-for-Senate-Bill-2256-establishing-Fargo-research-park-grant-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6253386-a32fe621635c304897d37929f32b9fb5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771195738&Signature=OwlZnWBJgmzeA8e5yshackJGwBuLXJapphDeTgBoUISHm1tbGgdmRCRJumXGQwwWbWcGeUwYbDcv-GuDe03HvopDLNWA9Gj9dWEsyb-1IekG7IMo1lCXJ8Vre~lRKeMoSGjvreEL7vXtk83XncsczJdFPDEEpFSsbJUU-6Tl1GZQswH2tRCbx1oQNMErv-1TEPp90J9EtvpUPBhWmtKA36zCtjz9U0SKaJAWfpGVWcKfk-pi6vu7WUR0rKx8GgoTEji4VdrB9PTdd0lusiKY05WImEhxeJpGFUC7kWAx2nkoQ-MbMQVfemohO3mpFGfzDRQpmwUYDh1rSICgj8E6Nw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Dakota House of Representatives adopted the conference committee report on engrossed Senate Bill 2256, a measure that establishes a grant program for the Research and Technology Park in Fargo to be administered by the North Dakota Industrial Commission.

The conference committee's report was introduced on the seventh order of business; the committee listed representatives Steeman, Fisher and Schauer and senators Thorog, Thomas and others as members of the conference committee that considered earlier amendments. Representative Schauer explained that after two committee meetings the conference recommended no further changes to the version that had previously passed in committees and on the floor and moved that the House approve the conference committee report.

On the floor the motion to adopt the conference committee report carried and the report was adopted. The transcript records that \"because there was no change, [it] does not require a vote on the fourteenth order,\" indicating the conference panel did not alter the bill's previously agreed text; no recorded roll-call vote for final passage appears in the provided excerpt. The bill, as described on the floor, creates a grant program to support the Research and Technology Park in Fargo and assigns administration of the program to the North Dakota Industrial Commission.","The House adopted a conference committee report on Senate Bill 2256, which creates a grant program for the Research and Technology Park in Fargo to be administered by the North Dakota Industrial Commission; the conference report was adopted without floor amendments.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6253391,"North Dakota House approves HB1003 to fund attorney general and related items",111,593000,704000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3181503-30c9cb7c5e13cc3506e8af7114e2a991&start=593&end=704","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3181503-30c9cb7c5e13cc3506e8af7114e2a991/thumbnail_593000.jpg","/articles/6253391/North-Dakota/North-Dakota-House-approves-HB1003-to-fund-attorney-general-and-related-items","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6253391-a605273e71d19791ee14718ebe9a8047/orig.mp4?Expires=1771195738&Signature=mUlFGGt6s7R58B7bzQnvgIaHjz9FayhkSMoKYSoeCd7p964VyiuB~JI8gsLqjid8h8RYMv0faQGMHQOFB9rimXtyKXwV9hOC28ozkdQ3ULSXRo7l~TzV69zGrvls0v86OJ09ypk76ODZqxqTM4ORNsPLkuLngfLbdAXxUomLbn9XGvXGZYX4xk5XWsCIyvaHdK03WJhGKfZ2C-3lH1AaXpqnX3Eop6fVDQw7e3FqwtDJzx7X7qzi-BkUHS4zYLocwKFu6iG2kupzv5d2XnzBI1NFUg3Ax4Onrbj0tja~2l-D4XyVIS2-JmJvWMscbtAZhz2Oj4J2Z-Ded2uZ4G0sew__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Dakota House of Representatives voted to pass House Bill 1003, a measure providing appropriations and statutory changes affecting the attorney general's office and related programs; the final recorded vote was 74 yea, 12 nay.

House Bill 1003, as described on the floor, would provide an appropriation to defray the expenses of the attorney general and would amend and reenact sections of the North Dakota Century Code related to witness compensation and mileage, the attorney general's salary, 24/7 sobriety program fees, and the tobacco settlement trust fund; the engrossed bill also includes provisions for a report and a fund transfer and an exemption.

The bill was introduced on the eleventh order of business with proposed amendments from the Appropriations Committee. Representative Nathan, speaking on the floor, asked members for a \"green vote,\" saying, \"You heard the conference report yesterday. I asked for a green vote, so I don't do not have to talk about this anymore. So please vote green.\" The clerk opened the electronic voting key for final consideration; after members voted the clerk recorded the tally and the chief clerk declared the bill passed. The transcript does not show extended debate on the bill during this floor action.

No additional implementation steps or effective dates for provisions are recorded in the floor excerpt. The transcript identifies the statutory sections to be amended but does not specify dollar amounts or line-item figures in the spoken floor summary. The action recorded on the floor is final passage of the engrossed bill by the House.","The House of Representatives approved House Bill 1003, a measure containing appropriations and statutory amendments affecting the attorney general's office and related items; final passage was recorded 74-12.","actionData","errors"]
